Show-quality 1971 Ford Torino GT, 351C V-8, Shaker scoop and Marti documentation, offered after rotisserie restoration with period-correct details.
A meticulously restored 1971 Ford Torino GT — finished in Light Pewter Metallic with period “laser” side stripes — has been listed for sale with comprehensive provenance and a long menu of factory-style equipment, the seller said.
The SportsRoof coupe is powered by Ford’s 351-cubic-inch Cleveland V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and paired to a C6 Select-Shift Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. A 3.25:1 rear axle ratio, power steering and power front disc brakes round out a driveline calibrated for highway cruising and confident stops. The restoration presents as a full rotisserie effort, with the car returning in colors and trim that match its factory specification.
According to the listing, documentation includes an Elite Marti Report, the original window sticker and an electrical traveler inspection sheet from Ford’s Atlanta Assembly Plant. The car’s early history cites delivery to Golden Motors Inc. in Golden, Colorado. The underside of the deck lid bears the autograph of Bill Shenk, credited as the designer of the 1970 Torino.
Visually, the Torino GT wears hallmark cues from the nameplate’s early-’70s peak: hidden headlamps, a Shaker hood scoop with twist locks, dual color-keyed sport mirrors (left remote), rear “sport slats” window louvers, tinted glass and the Visibility Group lighting package. Firestone Wide Oval raised-white-letter tires are mounted on Ford Magnum 500 wheels, reinforcing the period look.
The cabin presents in black vinyl with high-back bucket seats, a center console and seat belts front and rear. Amenities include a Custom Autosound radio, air conditioning and heat. The seller notes a cleanly finished dashboard and trim, with attention paid to restoring switchgear, lenses and soft materials in line with the car’s overall show-quality presentation.
Mechanically, the listing emphasizes a smooth-running 351C and sorted ancillary systems. While exact mileage since restoration was not disclosed, the vehicle is described as turnkey, with additional walk-around video and more than 150 photos available for review. Prospective buyers are encouraged to verify option codes against the Marti Report and inspect typical Torino corrosion points, suspension bushings and brake hydraulics as part of routine due diligence.
The Torino GT was positioned by Ford as a blend of fastback style and big-car comfort, and values have strengthened as period-correct examples with documentation become scarcer. This car’s combination of factory-appropriate equipment, verified build data and show-level finish — capped by a designer’s signature — is likely to attract bidders seeking a blue-chip slice of Ford’s muscle-era portfolio.
The seller says nationwide shipping assistance is available and third-party inspections are welcome prior to purchase.
